I spend my day speaking with leaders of healthcare practices. 2027 is going to be a very tough year. CMS reimbursements are down 9% in specialties like Dermatology, and 84% of healthcare practices report an increase in their operational cost. Healthcare practices are feeling an incredible squeeze, and many will go out of business. But leaders have more control than they think. People think about AI primarily as a way of cutting costs. But AI is the opportunity for them to take over control and fight the growing pressure on their ability to provide quality care. We quantified exactly how much control practice leaders can count on by introducing AI into their practices in four ways. Today, at Prosper we’re publishing the 2026 Prosper AI Growth Report, showing how AI can drive up practice revenue by $125K/year (11% increase) per physician. You can read more about our report in the link below.

There's something magical happening in Barcelona at the moment The tech ecosystem feels invigorated and there's a real chance it could be one of big tech cities of Europe. Last week I was at the @ProjectEurope_ hackathon. @Kitty_Mayo_ and Jade always do an amazing job bringing together great people from the local ecosystem. I was also able to meet some amazing founders thanks to @DidacLee and team at Masia, and the ecosystem is POPPING. Also I am also trying to experiment with new types of content. Let me know what you think of the video. Watch the whole thing to hear the absolute WORST parts about working with @HarryStebbings 😂

Europe now has 0 companies left in the global top 25. What needs to happen for that to change by 2030?

Congrats to @dmartingaya on an outstanding milestone! Few operators impress like David. He’s built a phenomenal performance machine from Celrà, Girona, with relentless execution and zero self-promotion. The TradeInn Girona Unicorn spirit, hard work, humility, ambition, truly inspires. Kudos to @ctrenchs, @roquevl, @DidacLee for the vision! lavanguardia.com/economia/20…

We need EU Inc to make European companies independent of the US Delaware C corp and to usher in a renaissance of investing in European Startups. With Trump at the helm, this is becoming a strategic necessity for Europe. @euacchq @andreasklinger

The European Union 🇪🇺 should set up a special fund to attract 5000 of the top US academics to Europe - this will generate a much needed boost in productivity growth!!

Moltíssimes gràcies a tothom! No és possible posar en paraules tot el sentit i viscut. Trigaré temps a pair-ho. Infinites gràcies, de debó.

Hoy @elpais entrevista a @david_bernabeu, uno de los emprendedores más cracks, ejecutivos y currantes (de los activos 24x7 -lo sé por experiencia propia-), que está convirtiendo la tecnológica @citiboxES (f. 2016, Valencia) en un auténtico transatlántico de la logística española
